A Custom Architectural Spanish Gate
Modern Spanish Style Garage Door and Motorized Driveway Gate in L.A.
Los Angeles, CA - Spanish Colonial Architecture is known for its simple rustic design. That is exactly what we achieved with this custom Spanish driveway gate with it's wire-brushed surface and oil rubbed finish. The simple design is an example of how beauty can be subtle and how less is more when it comes to design. Although we designed the garage door in a smooth finish and different design, the Spanish driveway gate didn't have to follow that design scheme as it can stand alone as an architectural landscape element. Keeping in the rustic Spanish Colonial style will ensure that the surface of the gate gets better as it ages and will require very minimal maintenance.

Los Angeles, CA - Garage conversions are some of our favorite projects to work on because they let our creativity flow along with the client's needs and architectural aesthetics involved in the garage door design process. Take a look at this custom wood garage door with its Modern Spanish Style consisting of large windows and raised panels.
The Spanish style garage door features two rows of clear glass which showers the inside of the garage with tons of natural light. Since the garage was converted into a playroom it was important to have plenty of natural light coming in and the ability to see outside into the patio/drive area from inside the room. Solid raised paneling was used at the bottom of the garage door giving it a bit of character and the appearance of bi-folding doors. Beautifully finished in smooth surfaced mahogany, the garage door complements other interior doors of the home. Inside, it is equipped with an electric side-mounted jackshaft opener which operates the garage door smoothly when needed or when the entertainment space needs to be expanded to the exterior.
Although this is a roll-up sectional garage door we also specialize in Panoramic Bi-Folding Garage Doors for garage conversions throughout Southern California.

Custom Mediterranean Garage Doors
Mediterranean Style Custom Garage Doors & Courtyard Entry Gates
Corona del Mar, CA - Mediterranean architectural home design is popular in the coast of California and Florida alike. This custom home in Orange County, CA was done beautifully with all the architectural elements you would expect from an authentic Mediterranean Villa.
The custom garage doors were done in solid Mahogany with a raised panels and hand-carved diamond panels at the bottom. The raised panels showcase the solid craftsmanship devoted to building this project consisting of two custom wood garage doors and wooden garden gates. The wood was stained by hand to brig out the rich coloration and grain structure of the handpicked mahogany lumber. Matching the home's arched garage door openings was essential to achieve a natural architectural look. Our goal is to craft and design custom garage doors that look like they belong and meant for the project at hand. Focusing on each home's existing architectural style and elements help our in-house designers create unique garage doors that evoke nothing less than architectural excellence.
Since the double-car and single-car garage doors were next to each other it was important to keep a certain degree of design consistency. Breaking the monotony of continuity was ingeniously done by selecting different decorative hardware and placement of these elements. For instance, the double-car garage door has ring pulls placed over the two most center raised panels while the single-car garage door has pull handles placed on the center trim edges to create a monotony breaking difference between both custom garage doors. Making these subtle differences between doors that are next to each other follows the old world tradition of beauty in imperfection.
Our in-house designers can create an authentic Mediterranean style look for your home with our custom designed garage doors and gates. We enjoy working on projects that involve various architectural door elements that are typically missed but make such an enormous difference.

European Handcrafted Courtyard Gates
Mediterranean Style Custom Garage Doors & Courtyard Entry Gates
The most amazing architectural elements found throughout Europe have to be their entry doors. Doors are the focal point of entry to every home and building; therefore, selecting the right design and materials is of essence. Remember that first impressions happen only once so you want to make sure that your entry courtyard gate is conveying the right feeling to your guests.
This Mediterranean style courtyard entry gate is fabulous in more than one way. The custom design is the result of an entire project consisting of custom architectural garage doors and garden gates we designed and manufactured specifically for this home. The entry gate has a beautiful hand craved diamond panel which was borrowed from the garage door design itself. We used the same mahogany wood to build the gate and complement the front elevation aesthetics of the home. To create contrast between the solid wood garage doors and entry courtyard gate we decided to open up the top portion of the gate enough to let light through but still giving the residents privacy. This was done by using a rain glass door behind the wrought iron scroll design which plays beautifully with the rays of light that shine through the opaque glass and shimmer on the swift iron scrolling. Heavy hand-forged decorative gate pulls were used to accentuate the gate further giving it a luxurious Mediterranean Villa feel. The use of wood softens and warms up the look of the wrought iron scrolling and designer rain glass. Together, all of these elements speak beauty, functionality and traditional Mediterranean architectural style!

Rain glass is a fantastic choice to give any custom gate an airy feeling while offering privacy in a stylish fashion. Since the glass is actually a fully functional door it can easily be cleaned or opened to speak easily with an uninvited guest or simply to open up the exterior view into the lavish courtyard area.
